Vindicator sprint family? Dont laugh

Vindi_Andy · #1 16th January 2007, 12:11

Ok as promised started new thread regarding change of kit car.

I have been looking for something to replace the spartan for some time now. Fed up with having to undo previous owners bodges and blunders and add some mods of my own and havine the ongoing size problem ie not big enough.

Been looking at the vindi family for a while as this is the only kit within my limited budget that isnt a 1930's style roadster or a eurobox style

Having driven it loaded up with me wife and 2 kids have to say its fun to drive plenty of room and ticks all the right boxes for me.

Would welcome anyones comments but before the deluge starts I know the styling leaves a little to be desired however the choice for 4 seaters or 2+2s is extremely limited.

Part of this I believe is inherent in the industry as one comment received by yours truly when I asked if a certain car, which will remain nameless for now, was going to be available as 2+2 was " what do you want a 4 seater for?" i believe the persons mindset was married + kid(s) = no money

This is not necessarily the case

Sorry for the mammoth post

Why not sell one of the kids.

Use the money to fund an Aeon - seating for 3!

Congrats Andy. Will look forward to some build updates...

Don't suppose you've got any pictures of the Vindi Family have you so that I can include it on the site?

BTW do vindi builders have a forum? Can include one here in the build section if you want.

Cheers, John

Cheers, John

I can't see a problem using them John. For use on Madabout only of course.

Cheers Mark, many thanks. That'll please Andy, he asked weeks ago about listing the Vindi Family....

Ermmm, I think so.

Manage to get the latest KC mag found the article using the picture in this post.

Chassis arriving a week today so trying to build up garage point bank so I can get some done.

Vindi_Andy · #14 20th March 2007, 16:05

Well it arrived yesterday amid the snow flurries. I can't get the silly grin off my face. Wife helping in her own way. Children insisted on sitting in the empy chassis.
